Maggie Update...

Sorry for not posting this sooner, it's been a busy weekend.

On Thursday, the vet gave Maggie her steroid injection and that has made a HUGE difference. She slept all day long and that evening, when I got back from Open Court, she actually walked across the apartment to meet me. She was a little sluggish and a little wobbly, but she could walk. I couldn't believe it.

And her improvment continued from there...

On Friday, she got tired and walked into the bedroom and jumped up onto the bed, on her own. She also started eating again.

On Saturday, she used the bathroom normally and walked around the backyard, smelling things, which was an improvement.

And yesterday evening, she went down the stairs on her own and slept on the couch again.

Today, she walked the stairs, both up and down, used the bathroom normally, has been eating again and has even ran around the backyard a little bit.

We went from absolute partial paralysis to running around the backyard, trying to bit a butterfly out of the sky.

Amazing.

I've updated the vet on our progress. And we've moved our vet visit back a week to be next Monday, instead of this Monday. He might do an MRI and discuss long term care for her back (as we expect this to happen again). But we're out of the worst part of this and are looking ahead to our future.

I will have her for a few more years, yet.
Which is good, because I really need her.

Thanks again for all of the calls and emails. You guys are amazing friends to me. I really appreciate it.

Cheers,
Mr.B
